We have finally found something in America that is not simply partisan politics.

As it stands now, Congress is split roughly down the middle, with Republicans on one side and Democrats on the other side. That goes for many state legislatures also. From the president on down to the lowest-ranking politician, the split is there in force. Politicians can’t agree on anything lately.

But, wait there is one thing. With the sexual abuse and harassment of women by politicians, celebrities and movie producers, we have finally found something nonpartisan (“Conyers steps down from committee post amid crisis,” Nov. 27). Republicans and Democrats have been outed as serial sexual abusers and harassers. This huge problem crosses party lines.

When the only thing a country can claim as nonpartisan is sexual misconduct, that is embarrassing.

Retailers should decide

Boston retailers should tell the City Council to stop telling them what type of bags to give their customers (“Council votes to ban bags,” Nov. 30). The city’s retailers should be allowed to make these decisions themselves, without local government interference.

Testing time for Dems

If the Democrats are for the American people, they will vote for tax reform (“Prospects brighter for tax overhaul,” Nov. 29). To oppose reform would just be about playing politics and undermining President Trump.

Overall, the tax plans put forward by the Republicans would make the economy soar, leading to more jobs and higher pay. Reform would mean putting more money into the hands of people, as opposed to the government.

Keep Dreamers here

As other immigration issues have captured attention, the uncertain situation of the young people known as Dreamers remains (“Curtatone encouraged by judge’s ruling on sanctuary cities,” Nov. 26). The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, was created by President Obama in 2012 with the intention of protecting undocumented children who came to the United States without intending to break the law — and are now working to fulfill the American Dream.

DACA covers those who were brought to the country at a young age by their undocumented parents — and now only know the U.S. as home. About 800,000 immigrants are enrolled in DACA.

During President Trump’s campaign in 2016 he often said he would rescind DACA. However, he never made an attempt to rescind it until 10 Republican attorneys general threatened to sue his administration if it did not end the program — which it then did.

This should never have happened — and Congress should act to keep this program going.
